Great points men! I keep wondering if Keenan Lewis with his size would be an option at Safety. We need some depth back there and he could be that safety that can actually cove

Since Curtis Brown has fallen off a cliff this preseason, our top 3 CB's will have to be Taylor, Lewis, and Allen. Since Lewis will either be starting opposite Ike, or if Cortez wins that job, that would make Lewis the all-important nickel corner in this pass-happy era, so we don't have the luxury of making Keenan a backup safety.

Not even close. Mendenhall and Redman are way more complete backs than Dwyer.

Not in the hot/ice tub, they aren't. And if JD can get over being lazy, he would
be far better than either of those backs. He hits the hole with power and speed,
not dance around like an idiot. And Redman is nice for a few power rushes, but
his lack of speed makes him NOT a full time, every down back. He will never last,
taking shot after shot as a slow moving target.

12. Many fans are starting to realize that our Defensive Line may have more talent and depth than our Linebackers.

LB could be a problem this season if some folks don't get and then stay healthy. That is a major problem for a 3-4 team. We seem to have 8-9 defensive linemen who could be solid NFL players.

This may be the biggest one.
As stated, we have question marks with regard to every unit on our D, including this one. But if I had to pick one unit where those questions become answers, I'd pick the D-line. To see Hood emerge, Heyward take a good leap forward, to see McLendon live up to his recent hype, would be BIG. It would help the back units too of course.

I 100% agree. He's going to be great for a good long while and I'd say locking down a potentially elite lineman is a hell of a lot more difficult than locking down a solid LB, especially in our scheme.
